https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/99altr/this_is_what_libertarians_actually_believe/ No communist country even allowed the "Taxes" circle level of income. Typically All this "value" is controlled by the state and workers get fixed salary determined by bureaucrats. Plus, having too much money anyway would make you target to investigation and confiscation as dangerous bourgeois scum(that only high level apparatchiks are allowed to be).

that sub might seem popular at a first glance, but it's actually mostly bots/sockpuppet accounts that upvote it to the front page
it's a fringe group of leftist NEETs who have nothing else to do aside from posting garbage on the internet
when you go on social media, the people you are most likely to see posting are the people who post the most often
in other words, you're more likely to see neckbeard losers than a regular dude

>>2 Not really. They post alot of critical articles/memes about US that are impossible to deny:predatory healthcare/insurance, student loans, widespread poverty and loss of middle class lifestyle, reduction in comfort levels, excesses of profit-chasing corporations. They have organic users too.
The purpose of LST is to mix propoganda and real facts to convince left-leaning audience that they need communism. They will ban discussion that dares to challenge the idea that "communism is the solution" or bringing up the real facts about communism, since they're believers in some utopian techno-communist future powered by rainbow flags and "True communism hasn't been tried"(however they'll bring up communist countries achievements and positive sides anytime they like).
>>10 They are different, just use same post-rationalization tactics because logical fallacies are universal. Its like arguing with a convinced theist about afterlife.
According to Asin, Yeltsin didn't leave empty-handed, as he was given a small bag of goodies to enjoy on the rest of his trip.
In a regime where such luxuries are considered non-existent, that pudding was equivalent of the One Ring(to Rule them all). By eating that pudding he absorbed the dark power of corrupting Capitalism, paving the way to collapse of the empire.
"When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people," Yeltsin wrote. "That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it."
But outside of the Russian trolls, virtually no real Twitter (twtr) users actually responded to the messages, Broniatowski said. Generally, Russian trolls try to exploit controversial topics like religion, and race and class division, but “sometimes they get it hilariously wrong,” he said.
Broniatowski attributed the campaign’s failure to the content of the tweets, which included: “VaccinateUS mandatory #vaccines infringe on constitutionally protected religious freedoms;” “Did you know there was a secret government database of #vaccine-damaged children? #VaccinateUS;” and “Dont get #vaccines. Iluminati are behind it. #VaccinateUS.”
The messages were so far-fetched that even people who believe in conspiracy theories chose to ignore them.

The math: The west: US 360 million people, CAN 40 million people, EU 500 million people. The west total 900 million people. Disruptive Russians trols: 1000 people. Avg.: 900,000,000 / 1,000 = 1 Russian trol on 900,000 people.
Number of people active with the secret service, only the US: 1,000,000. Total number of people active with the secret service within the west: unknown. But probably millions.
